Flowers In Concrete

Like flowers growing in concrete There's only so far we can reach (let me tell ya now!) Over the years we've pulled together Looked at our options and stayed clever And watched many directions taken And a mountain of integrity forsaken Constant changes all around us Do we just mirror the society that surrounds us? As we draw strength from each other With this spirit we have discovered We had to change the game - change the game It's not just more of the same - more of the same Some laugh and leave their sinking ship Part of an iceberg of ignorance - the visible tip That hits us hard and we escape at best But when that ice has melted it drifts out with the rest But like flowers in concrete There's only so far we can reach Do the best with what we've got Because a foothold is ever a lot (that's right - it's not) We have to realize who we are We can only grow and go so far And don't fool yourself otherwise 'Cos in time you'll realize (the reason to expand) So we stay on underground With this spirit we've found And our golds are in sight But changes won't happen overnight (unless we make it right)
